Episcopal Diocese Settles Property Dispute in Favor of Parish

http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=7599

[Virtue Online] 31 Jan 2008--St. Joseph's Anglican Church, Brooklyn, formerly Trinity Church of East New York, which broke with the diocese in 1977, settled its case with the diocese in a Brooklyn court recently with the parish keeping its property.

The settlement was for $275,000.00, an amount considerably less than the market value of the property as recently appraised, said the attorney for the parish Eugene Voorhis.

The Anglican Church in America is not affiliated with one of the global South provinces of the Anglican Communion so it is not surprising that 815 would permit this settlement.
